CALLUM HAWKINS GOALKEEPER              D.O.B December 12th 1999
Currently on loan from Burton Albion for a second time, Callum has proved to be a reliable
goalkeeper. Born in Rotherham he has learned his trade with Burton’s Academy, and signed
professional for the Brewers in May 2018. He was with Mickleover for a six week spell between
December 2018 and February 2019, having previously been out on loan at Gresley in 2017. His
plans suffered a major blow last season, when he damaged knee ligaments in August and
sat out the rest of the season. Having recently returned to the Don Amott Arena, he made his
seasonal debut in the friendly match at Frickley and has played in the all of the early season
NPL matches, including making a double penalty save against Morpeth. Back on a season
long loan from Burton Albion, after the Brewers extended his contract, the rivalry between
Callum and Joe Slinn should keep them both on their toes.

JOE SLINN GOALKEEPER 		                D.O.B December 27th 1998
Joe is a 21 year old from Stoke on Trent, who started his goalkeeping career at Port Vale.
During his spell at Vale Park he also had a four month loan spell at Stalybridge Celtic. He
signed professional in February 2017 having captained the Youth team, before moving to
Walsall in 2018. He went out on loan again to Rushall Olympic for most of the 2018/19 season
before leaving Walsall in August 2019. After a few months with Atherton Collieries, he had
another four months with Alvechurch, before moving on again to Newcastle Town in February
of this year. He joined Mickleover in summer 2020 and shared first team duties with Hawkins
throughout the aborted season.

PHIL WATT DEFENDER		                   D.O.B January 10th 1988
Phil was another who started his football path with his home town club of Rotherham Utd.
He moved on to Lincoln City in 2004 and spent four years at Sincil Bank, where he made his
first team debut in the opening match of the 2007/8 season, and played again in an FA Cup
tie against Nottingham Forest. There had been a couple of loan spells at Grantham during his
time at Lincoln, but for the next three years he was at Corby Town. After another loan spell
at Grantham, the dependable centre back made it a permanent move, but after one-season
moved on to Boston Utd. His next move was to Coalville Town where he scored two goals in
his 12 games, before starting a long association with Belper Town. In three different spells he
reached the 150 appearance milestone for the Nailers, as well as scoring a winning play-off
goal to gain them promotion and was twice voted into the team of the division during his stays.
He also had a spell at Lincoln Utd and Frickley Athletic in between his Belper experiences, from
where he joined the Sports line-up during the summer. He formed a strong central defensive
partnership with James Butler early on, which just got stronger, as well as getting himself on
the score sheet on a number of occasions too. “Watty” was also the man who ran the first
team squad zoom sessions to keep everyone fit during lockdown.

JAMES BUTLER DEFENDER		                 D.O.B February 11th 2000
A Stoke City Schoolboy and Academy player for nine years, James became a regular in the
Potters Under 18 and Under 21 Premier League teams, a solid dependable centre back. But it
was during a loan at Kidsgrove Athletic, that Butler impressed their opponents in an FA Cup
tie and he was offered a work experience stay at Hartlepool. He spent two months in the North
East, but didn’t manage to break into the first team squad and returned to Kidsgrove. Stoke
City retained an option on him as he became a regular at the Grove, but during the summer of
2020 both he and team mate Alex Morris made the move to the Don Amott Arena. His strength,
dependability and old school style of no nonsense defending, soon made him a favourite with
the Mickleover fans and he soon became established as a kingpin of the defence.

JAKE BENNETT DEFENDER		                 D.O.B February 22nd 1996
Like so many others, Jake started playing for his hometown club Telford AFC as a 15 year
old, making two first team starts before going out on loan to Market Drayton. He was initially
spotted by Mickleover management during a friendly match against Market Drayton, and with
Sports then pushing for promotion back to the Premier Division of the NPL, he was made an
offer which he readily accepted to become a Sports player in December 2014. After being
part of the squad for his first half season, he became a first choice defender over his two year
stay and began to receive offers of trials from League Clubs. He joined Sheffield Utd in 2016
and making his first team debut in the EFL Cup in 2017, plus other first appearances in some
friendly matches. He was then due to go on loan to Chesterfield, but played against them in
a friendly and collected a cruciate ligament injury, putting him out of action for 10 months. A
further thigh injury on his comeback meant he never got to play for Chesterfield, and following
his release by Sheffield Utd in October 2019, he had a brief at Alfreton Town, before joining
Coalville Town in December 2019 in the Southern League Premier Division Central. He opted to
return to Mickleover during the summer, of 2020 as he was still looking to rebuild his career
and looked back fondly at his previous two years with the club.
“My lasting memory was winning the title here, the first medal I had ever won in football.”
First choice last season at right back, his overlapping runs also meant he was on hand to find
the back of the net on occasions too.

ALEX MORRIS DEFENDER		                  D.O.B May 26th 1998
Stoke on Trent born school PE teacherAlex began his career as a Port Vale Junior, playing
regularly in their reserve team before moving on to Leek Town. He had spells at both Nantwich
and Newcastle Town, before finding a home at Kidsgrove Athletic in 2018, where he stayed
until the end of last season. Mainly playing at left back, over the last two years he played every
minute of every competitive game for Kidsgrove, before joining Mickleover this summer with
Kidsgrove team mate James Butler. Alex was first choice left back last season and one of the
mainstays of our table topping defence.

JOE BATEMAN DEFENDER		                  D.O.B December 6th 1998
One of the pre-season signings, Joe impressed in a couple of pre-season friendlies in his
familiar roles of centre back. A former Derby County player, he has come through the under 18
and under 23 ranks before being released at the end of last season.
He made one start for the Rams first team in the FA Cup tie at Chorley last season. A strong
dependable player, he can also play defensive midfield and has been a key part of the team
from the opening NPL game at South Shields.
ANDY DALES MIDFIELDER		                D.O.B November 13th 1994
It’s been more of a return home for Andy since rejoining Mickleover just before the season
started. Derby born he spent 10 years at Derby County and was a first year pro in 2013. He was
released in 2014 and was unable to take up offers of trials due to injury, which brought him to
Mickleover for the first time. The pacey winger had four years at the Don Amott Arena and was
part of the team that won promotion back to the NPL Premier Division, his first senior medal.
In 2017/18 he scored 23 goals and was signed by Scunthorpe United after being spotted at
the Jamie Vardy Academy. During his three years there he made 33 appearances and scored
one goal, but also had long loan spells in the Scottish Premiership with Dundee and Hamilton
Academicals. After a short spell at Altrincham last season, he was released and returned to
Mickleover, hitting two goals on his home debut against Gainsborough.

BEN GOWING MIDFIELDER		                D.O.B December 27th 1992
Ben started last year playing with Paddy Webb at Eastwood and by the end of the season had
scored 13 goals in his 32 appearances. The midfielder has played for a number of teams in the
locality, in 2018/19 he was with Belper Utd and before that he had spells with Long Eaton Utd
and Dunkirk. He joined the Sports squad during the summer 2020 and was a regular member
of the first team squad all season.

MASON WARREN MIDFIELDER                D.O.B March 28th 1997
Born in Doncaster, Mason came through the junior ranks at Rotherham Utd, signing
professional in May 2015 and spent three years with them. He had a number of loan spells
during his time at Rotherham, including Sheffield, Harrogate Town, Grantham, Matlock,
Boston Utd, North Ferriby and Gainsborough Trinity and made one start for the Rotherham
first team in the EFL Cup in 2016. He was released at the end of the 2017/18 from where he
joined the Mickleover squad, debuting against Gainsborough in August in 2018. A strong
playmaking midfielder, but Mason can also play in defence and assist in the attack, becoming
a regular goalscorer and fans favourite. He was captain of last year’s side that finished top of
the aborted NPL and will be leading us into this seasons campaign too.

ANDREW WRIGHT MIDFIELDER               D.O.B September 17th 1996
He started at Chesterfield before becoming a Lincoln City youth scheme product. He spent
two years at Sincil Bank, before having the first of his two spells at Grantham. After one year
he moved on again to Coalville for a year, preceding a three-month stay with Matlock Town
in July 2019. A fast attacking midfielder primarily, Andrew is a regular goal seeker. He went
back to Grantham in September 2019, but after a couple of months he came to the Don Amott
Arena and made his debut in the home game against Radcliffe that November, scoring his
first goal against Grantham in January 2020. Club vice captain and a motivator both on and
off the field, always leading by example. Always looking for that shot on goal but at present he
is recovering from a knee operation, but hopes to be back in action in September.

KEMY AGUSTIEN MIDFIELDER               D.O.B August 20th 1986
Born in the Netherlands Antilles, his career started with Dutch side Willem II. After two years
as a junior he signed professional in 2004 and played 55 games in the Dutch Eredivisiewhere
his midfield skills flourished, before moving to AZ Alkmaar. Although he was with AZ for
four years, scoring two goals in his 25 games, he also had loans at Roda JC and played 20
games for Birmingham City in the Championship. A further loan at RKC Waalwijk preceded a
permanent move to the UK with Swansea City. He played 47 times for the Welsh side in both
the Championship and Premiership, winning the League Cup with them in 2012/13. He had a
loan spell at Crystal Palace, before joining Brighton, playing 17 games between 2013-2015,
before moving to Denmark with Vendsyssel. The next stop was the Scottish Premiership with
Hamilton Academicals, then back to the Netherlands with Dordrecht and SV Tec, with a spell in
the Philippines at Global Cebu in between. His first non league team in the UK were Nuneaton,
but moves to Halesowen, Barrow, Wrexham and Bradford Park Avenue were followed by his
move to Mickleover at the end of last season. He also gained International honours with the
Netherlands at Under 19, 20 and 21 levels and played 13 times for Curacao, winning the 2017
Caribbean Cup. Kemy trained with Mickleover in pre-season and scored a classy goal in the
friendly against Clipstone, prompting to resign for this current season. His class on the ball is
unquestionable, as is his character, as a valued and talented midfielder.

BOBBY BATTISSON MIDFIELDER              D.O.B January 31st 2004
Having started his footballing career playing for Malaga in Spain, Bobby was spotted by
Burton Albion on his return to the UK, while playing for a local side. An energetic hard working
midfielder with an eye for a goal, Bobby came to Mickleover after three years with the
Brewers, during which time there had been interest from a number of league clubs. He made
his debut as a sub at the end of last year and was a key member of the Mickleover Academy
side, winning both the Midlands and National title and a regular in the successful reserve side.
His preferred position position is attacking midfielder and his footballing hero is Lionel Messi.
Now a key member of the first team squad, Bobby made his first start in the opening game of
the season at South Shields.

ROGER LEE MIDFIELDER		                  D.O.B July 1st 1991
After a successful pre-season trial Roger has now become part of the first team squad, making
his league debut as a second half sub at Buxton. The Bermudan born midfielder started his
career with home clubs Somerset Eagles, Bermuda Hogges and Robin Hood, before coming
to the UK in 2014, where he joined Ilkeston Town with fellow Bermudan internationals. He
moved on to Weston Super Mare, Clevedon Town, Rugby, Stamford, Basford, Stafford and
Loughborough Dynamo, before journeying to Latvia for a couple of seasons with FK Jurniek. In
2019 he moved to JK Talinna Kalev in Estonia and had a year there before returning to the UK.
He has been capped by Bermuda as a full international and at under 20 level.

LEE HOLMES MIDFIELDER		                 D.O.B April 2nd 1987
A record breaker in his Derby County days, Lee made his debut for the rams while still only
15 years old. Over his six seasons at Derby he made 52 appearances, but also had loans at
Swindon, Bradford City and Walsall. During his loan at Swindon he was voted young player
of the year and was part of the team that won the League 2 title. He was part of the Derby
Championship play-off winning team too in 2007, but moved on to Southampton a year later.
Four seasons with the Saints included loans at Swindon again and Oxford, before signing for
Preston North End in 2012, winning the league 1 play-offs. After a loan spell at Exeter he made
a permanent move and stayed in Devon until last year, making 137 appearances and scoring
14 goals. He was also capped by England at Under 16, 17 and 19 and captained the under 19’s
too. After coming on as sub against Basford in the FA Cup, he made his Mickleover league
debut at Witton Albion.

LIAM RAVENHILL MIDFIELDER               D.O.B November 28th 2002
Midfielder Liam is the son of Mickleover Assistant Manager Ricky Ravenhill, and is currently
on loan for four weeks from Doncaster Rovers. He is a product of the Doncaster Academy
and signed his first full professional contract in June, having made his first team debut last
season against FC United in the FA Cup. He has also been part of the Northern Ireland under
18 squad.

GEORGE MILNER FORWARD		                 D.O.B March 8th 1998
Having started at Chesterfield’s Academy as a 15 year old, George was given a two year
youth team contract after only his second month. He trained with the first team squad, after
graduating into a regular reserve team player, but went out on loan to Clipstone in the second
half of 2015/16 scoring two goals from his six games. After being released by Chesterfield he
had a dual registration for 2016/17 with both Buxton and Clipstone. He scored six goals for
Clipstone in 16 games and two for Buxton in seven games, before leaving Clipstone for AFC
Mansfield, where he saw out the season with another three goals from 10 games. It was then
he had the offer to play in Norway, a first full professional contract for Valdres. He spent a
season in Norway, but instead of his striker role, he started to play in midfield, but still scored
12 goals in his 26 appearances. On his return to the UK he trained with Salford City, until
international clearance allowed him to join Frickley Athletic for the rest of 2017/18. He then
moved to Belper Town where he was regular for the next two years, until bringing his attacking
flare to Mickleover during pre-season. A dynamo of a player who would run all day, creative,
dangerous and wears his heart on his sleeve. A true asset to the club in every respect and a
regular goal scorer.

JOSH SATCHWELL FORWARD		               D.O.B October 11th 2002
A product of Sports own Academy, Josh mainly plays as a striker, but has shown his adaptability
to play elsewhere when he has been used as a substitute. He made one start in the Integro
Cup in 2020, but came off the bench five times. A regular member of the successful reserve
team, and kingpin of the Midlands and National Academy Championship wining team last
season. He now plays as a wing or centre back as well as his more familiar striking role. He
has had trials at Coventry City and Fleetwood Town.

STUART BEAVON FORWARD		                D.O.B May 5th 1984
Stuart Beavon is one of Mickleover’s most experienced players, following in the footsteps of
his Father Stuart and Grandfather Cyril. His career started for in the Hellenic League with
Ardley United, before swiftly moving on to Combined Counties side Wallingford. He scored 13
goals in 36 games between those clubs, before being snapped up by Didcot Town. Despite
stepping up to the Southern League South & West Division, he quickly found his goalscoring
touch and had two seasons with the club. He played 139 games and scored an amazing 107
goals and was a winner in the 2004/5 FA Vase too. His next step was to the Conference with
Weymouth, spending three seasons on the South Coast, and adding 27 more goals to his tally
from 90 appearances. For 2008/09 he had his first spell in the Football League with League
2 Wycombe Wanderers. He scored on his debut and his initial loan became permanent. He
was a prolific scorer again but the team were promoted and relegated twice during his stay.
After 125 games and 34 goals he moved to Preston North End in League 1 again. There was
debut goal again and having settled at Deepdale he stayed for two years, before an initial
loan at Burton Albion became permanent for the 2014/15 season. He gained promotion again
with the Brewers to League 1, but part way into his third season he left in January 2017 with
15 goals and 102 games under his belt, destined for Coventry City. A strange end of season
saw the Sky Blues win the EFL Trophy, but were also relegated to League 2. Although he was a
Coventry player for the next two seasons, his final one was spent on a years loan at Wrexham.
Early into the 2019/20 season he joined Nuneaton, but it was when he began his current
connection at Mickleover that he regained his scoring touch, with a goal scoring debut at
Atherton Collieries in September and scoring 10 before the season was curtailed. He was a
regular scorer for Mickleover last season and has already found the net in a number of pre-
season games.

DECLAN BACON FORWARD		                 D.O.B August 7th 1995
Dec returned to the Don Amott Arena last season, having been a Mickleover player a few
seasons earlier. He finished 2019/20 with Gainsborough Trinity, after just over a year at
Alfreton Town, It was his goal scoring record of 45 in a season at Bottesford Town that brought
him to the attention of Alfreton, but he has also played at Sheffield and Scarborough mong
other teams. He came back to us on loan from Gainsborough and quickly found his scoring
form, as we hit the top of the table. That prompted Gainsborough to recall him, before a he
came back to Mickleover permanently to complete the aborted 20/21 season. If he hits the
same vein of form as he did last season, he is one to watch.

DEMPSEY ARLOTT-JOHN FORWARD            D.O.B November 14th 2001
Signed just after the first week of the season Dempsey Arlott-John is a former Leicester City
striker, having been a regular in the Under 23 and Under 18 sides in recent years and regular
goal scorer, also having ahd a brief spell at Crystal Palace.
A pacey central striker who can also play on either wing, he made his Mickleover debut as a
second half sub against Ashton Utd, before making his first start in the away defeat at Buxton.
